Yep, considering that a forecast of 20-25 means possible gusts of up
to 35.
25 is a challenge with no reefing points, gusts of 35 very
challenging.


Could you cut it out. Take my side and then what do I have left?
Donal the chuckle head was making a toad of himself trying to insist that
strong gusts of 30-35 knots isn't a challenging. Maybe he's sailing a trawler
like Doug! Watch out for the crosswind!

Bwahahahaha!

If you know that the forecast is for 20-25 kt winds, then why don't you put
a reef in?

More boat ignorance from the guy who thinks Beneteau is an upscale boat!
The C&C 32 has a very small main. I've reefed it twice in lighter conditions.
On this particular day I opted to go full and see how she'd do on main alone.
It worked fine and we had hull speed. Later we were able to find some lulls and
fly the jib, furled down. It was a fun, if somewhat wet, sail.

FOr clarity. This is not a troll.

Does this mean what it appears to, that you've put a reef in
twice?

Sigh. Another no show. I'll cook a batch of donuts as comfort
food...
